Paedophiles can come off the sex offenders register

42 replies

Did you know convicted sex offenders can apply to have their names removed from the sex offenders register??

Removal from the SOR means that offenders are no longer managed by police forces meaning they can and often do, reoffend.

The effects of sexual abuse on a child are profound, devastating and almost impossible to quantify.

Effects are far reaching; from emotional, psychological, neurological, physiological and physical. The effects are carried into adulthood and impact on every aspect of a victim’s life.

For the child, their whole understanding of life is catastrophically affected from the moment they are violated by an adult or older child. Their understanding of what constitutes a loving and safe relationship becomes damaged and their world becomes unclear and difficult to navigate.

They may become withdrawn, subdued, angry, or develop neurological symptoms such as mutism and body tics. They may become aggressive, have issues with sleeping, bed wetting, become clingy and dislike activities that they once enjoyed. They are often hyper-vigilant, unable to manage stress and develop new fears. They may begin to complain of illness which cannot be treated or explained.

As they become overwhelmed by the stress, their ability to concentrate and focus affects their ability to learn leading to lower outcomes for them in the long term.

They may display hyper sexualisation or inappropriate sexual behaviour for their age. They may seek out other sexual experiences with their peers or other adults.

They may see that their compliance gains them privileges allowing them to feel worthy and more grown up.

Children who are subject to this type of abuse have difficulty making and maintaining friendships as their peers are developing age appropriately which is in conflict with the emotional development of the child being abused.

Victims face an increased risk of mental health issues in adulthood. In a 1999 study, it was reported that positive mediation and intervention post-abuse had a significant impact on victim’s long term mental health and well-being. (Saunders, Kilpatrick, Hanson, Resnick, & Walker, 1999)

However, this is reliant on the victim reporting the incident within a short period of time. Often, children are so traumatised by the violation that they cannot and do not have the language or the understanding to tell anyone. It is often the case the the child doesn’t speak up until they are much older and potentially more incidences of abuse have occurred further deepening the damage.

Paedophiles CANNOT be rehabilitated.

Unbelievable! Personally I think they should be fed to sharks. Every single one of them.

Hi can you repost the link to the petition please?
Thanks

I don't need the explanation of how damaging child abuse is to know that pedophiles shouldn't be able to change their names.

Signed. I haven't received the email to confirm yet.

If they're going to reoffend then they'll do it regardless of whether they're on a register or not.

Signed. Am angry and appalled at the shockingly lax attitude to sex offenders in our legal system.

They can also say they are a woman and change their name and sex with no trace of their past name or sex anywhere to be found on a DBS.

Meanwhile mums and dads are helping to prime the pump for their children to have no barriers against whoever comes their way by taking them from babyhood on to see men sexually dressed as fetishised women, who love Queering the boundaries with children; or children stroking so called “Pups” on Rainbow Pride parades. You see slogans like “Love has no age.”

As if the predatory ‘friends’, ‘neighbours’ and ‘loving family members’ are not enough.

I have signed your petition OP, and am sorry for what happened to you.

If they’re going to reoffend?!

What proof have you that being on a register makes no difference,Boris?

Also, aren’t there programmes where
some are given lie detector tests regularly which helps keep some in check?

What about “Sarah’s Law” ? Mightn’t that mean a person on a register could be named if someone asks about who is in the area?

I don’t know these things for sure, but am wondering.

You're wrong they don't apply to be removed, sex offender registration is for a defined period of time after which they no longer have to register with police and are no longer subject to MOSOVO oversight and checks. It doesn't come with polygraphs or accredited programmes, those are delivered by probation and only while they are subject to sentence, whether that's a licence after custody or a community based sentence. SO registration usually lasts longer than either of those. There can be restrictions such as not being within a certain results of a school, non contact/no unsupervised contact with a child under 16/18 , bit to possess more than one registered internet enabled device and so on.
Offences will still show on Sarah's law checks, DBS etc even after the period of registration.
I'm not disputing the impact to victims etc at all. Just clarifying the process.

JennyDarlingRIP · 04/03/2023 15:12

What I've also found to be more common than expected is a name change to match a moderately famous person so when people Google them it's only the references to the famous person that comes up. That or really generic names like John Smith.

This has changed since 2003. Pre 2002 there was an expiration but after the Soham murders the new Sexual Offences Act 2003 came in to force and the inclusion period was determined by the sentence. More than 30 months imprisonment meant an indefinite inclusion. That was until two sex offenders went to the European Court of Human Rights and pleaded that an indefinite inclusion was an infringement on their human rights.

Staggeringly high. You’ve got to ask yourself if they were imprisoned for more than 30 months and placed on it indefinitely, just how bad were their crimes.
